Information

Eclipse Fun Facts:

  • Solar eclipses happen when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. However, because the moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun, it must be at just the right distance from the Earth to block out the sun completely.
  • During a total solar eclipse, the sky can get very dark and the temperature can drop significantly. Birds and other animals may become confused and behave as if it is nighttime.
  • Solar eclipses have been used to test Einstein's theory of general relativity, which predicts that the gravitational pull of massive objects like the sun can warp space and time.
  • During a total solar eclipse, the corona (the sun's outer atmosphere) is visible as a halo of light around the moon. This is the only time the corona is visible from Earth without the use of special equipment.
  • The next solar eclipse visible for the United States - after the one on April 8, 2024 - won’t be until August 23, 2044!
